WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Check the valve springs for damage, free length (reference), and tension. Replace the valve spring if it is not within the standard value presented in the table.
    NOTE:
    • Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).
    • The free length of the valve spring is described as a reference. There is no need to replace the valve spring if the free length of the valve spring alone is out of standard.
  2. To measure the squareness of the valve spring, stand the valve spring on a surface plate and measure its deflection at the top of the valve spring using a try square.
